I need the applause.

What's happened at 85 is I've lost my appetite. I used to be a little hog when I was young. But now I really don't seem to need it.

When I would be myself, I was being big-headed. I was being egotistical. I was a megalomaniac, when it really was just having not to be a monkey for a few hours a day. And fulfilling the need to be a man.

Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.

In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.
